About
This programme is an immersion in Irish folklore carried on the air. It moves through wind and weather, wing and voice, spell and silence – gathering the old ways people once listened for what could not be seen, but could be felt. It is shaped by the understanding that air is not empty, but alive with movement, message, warning, enchantment, and change. Here you will enter a landscape where wind has character, birds and small winged creatures carry meaning through their behaviour, and night brings its own traffic. You will encounter folk magic as it was lived at the hearth and threshold: spoken charms, protective sayings, withheld words, blessings, and spells woven into ordinary days. You will meet disturbance and misrecognition, enchantment and transformation, and the careful responses that kept households steady when certainty was unavailable. Across nine chapters, the material moves from listening into naming, and from naming into story. Long-form tales hold what explanation cannot – wind as an active presence, changeling lore and the fragile work of care, and enchantment carried through flight, endurance, and song. Story is not used to illustrate ideas, but to root them, allowing folklore to work at its own depth and pace. This body of work also gathers the quieter strands of tradition: song and rhythm as forms of communication, communal movement and hand-gesture, protections for animals, children, land, and home, and archival fragments that keep the work anchored in lived cultural memory. It is not a belief system, ritual manual, or symbolic framework. It is a body of folklore material, held with ethical care and cultural precision. The programme is self-paced, with lifetime access, and designed to be returned to. This is for those drawn to folklore, enchantment, and folk magic not as fantasy, but as the imaginative, protective, and practical ways people once lived with uncertainty – and how those ways of knowing still move quietly through the air today.
